Bought this product two months ago. I recently had a motorcycle accident going like 60mph in the canyons, it observer all the impact of me hitting the floor and save my back from breaking, I believed it save my life. I will surely buy this product again.

I wanted a higher level of back protection for my icon jacket i use for commuting to work and around town. I found this alpinestars nucleon and saw the review on youtube. Needless to say seeds were planted and i recieved it for Christmas! !! Thanks santacycleclaws!!. My family member ordered a size medium off the alpinestars chart and and upon putting it in my icon jacket it was about 2 inches short. Luckily my girlfriend is a master seamstress (thats a joke but shes good) she hemmed up the lower portion of the back protector pocket so that the back protector is in the correct place as illustrated on the back of the nucleon package and took out the extra slack. All is well. It forms to the body and is relatively light weight. It breaths well and does appear to have a good amount of protection. I cant speak for an actual crash but i did have my girlfriend kick me a couple times in the back and it felt like a gentle massage. Great product and thanks again revzilla . If you are going to put this in any icon or similar jacket i would recomend getting the large version although the medium worked ok with small alterations. by my measurement the large nucleon will be about 1 inch shy being 18 in in length by 10.5 in wide . The icon stryker style foam pad was 19 in in length and 10.5 in wide just for reference if anyone is thinking about doing this. The medium nucleon is 17 in long by 10 in wide . Some may think it's taboo to mix and match brands like this however i like my jacket and i like what alpinestars is doing here so i went with it im sure i wont be the only one who will be doin this.

A week after receiving this back protector as a gift I high-sided and landed on my rear and back. The back protector did a stellar job of protecting me. My back suffered no injuries while my rear was a bit bruised and my pride even more. After trying on many back protectors, this one was the slimmest by far, necessary since I often commute with a backpack on. Obviously the thickness and ability of it to protect me were not an issue in my situation. It has good breathability but as with any protector you will trap some warmth on your back. The material is very interesting as you can bend it and it is flexible. During impact, it is firm and unyeilding. It fit perfectly inside my Alpinestars T GP-Plus R Air Jacket.

I have not gotten into any accidents so this review will only cover fit and comfort. Inserted into my gp plus and then my sp1 jacket, i can not feel the protector while riding. I basically forget its there. The jacket is perf'd so air goes thru well. one thing i did notice is that when i bend it, it stays in that shape, so while your back is bending, this conforms to your shape.

Put this into my Alpinestars textile jacket (2013 model I believe) and it fit just perfectly. It replaced the soft/filmsy foam that was there and to be honest I can barely tell this back protector is there. It flexes and contours so nicely yet it definetely resists impact (had folks kick/punch and ran it into doorways).

I bought this product to replace the stock foam in my Alpinestars jacket.My jacket size is medium and I used the size medium back protector and it's fits well.It's comfortable and the airflow is great.

I'm happy with this back pad - it fits nicely in my Alpinestars Stella jacket, the only drawback is how stiff the pad is. It doesn't really conform to my body at all. Overall it makes me feel safe though and I'm glad to have purchased it.

Because it would fit my new AStars Jaws leather jacket . I have others to use but wanted to try this "lighter" one and see how it works . Supposed latest iteration of back protection from AStars raises protection to a level 2 C rating. You can never have too much protection. Calling Astars out , ALL leather jackets in this price point should come with at LEAST level 3 C3 Back protectors. Point of purchase could be absorbed up to abut fifty bucks in my view..... seriously..

I am purchasing the Alpinestars Stella Gunner WP textile jacket in a size small. Should I purchase the Alpinestars Nucleon Back Protector in small or medium? I am 5'2" and weigh 110 lbs. I am also considering purchasing the Alpinestars Bionic Chest Pad, although I'm not sure how much protection the pads really offer.

I'm a new rider on a 2004 Honda Rebel 250CMX

Any suggestions are welcomed!

BEST ANSWER:Hi - I am also a new rider (2014 Honda CB500f). I am 5'7" and 175 pounds and where a Large Jacket because of chest size. The protector is light and semi-flexible. I got a Medium and it fit fine. I think Revzilla has a return policy so I would go for a medium if you where a Medium jacket. If you where a small jacket, then I would get a small. That is purely my guess. You should contact Revzilla; they have been great about answering questions for me.

I purchased the LG Im 6ft but my shoulder are bigger then the 20 (22) recommended. It seemed a little narrower then I expected. Putting it in the Alpine 3X Daystar ( I have a side to side gap of approximately 1"). Therefore, I think it is more dependent on the width then the length. So if you have wider shoulders I would go with the medium, if narrow I would go with the small. I'll check with my daughter who is 5'5 and see how it would fit. She just ordered a new jacket.
